As much as I dislike Peter Thiel and the cryptobro culture (disclaimer: I’m invested but I don’t associate), “rational arguments and facts” have never served to motivate non-professionals. Every marketer taps into their target audience’s emotions in some way.

If someone does something like this, you can know they are a scam artist. Why? Because only scam artists need and try to manipulate you through your visceral reactions and emotions. If somebody wants to sell you something that’s not a scam, they don’t need that, as they can convince you simply by presenting rational…

Western Union appears to charge $80 on a $50k transfer from my country. That’s not hella expensive, that’s a 0.16% fee.

The broad misconceptions about crypto help fuel their popularity among greedy, inept speculators. It’s like a flock of dollar-eyed sheep being led by a handful of intelligent sociopathic shepherds. One of my coworkers, a crypto fanboy, is always spouting off that the US dollar is inferior to crypto because since being…

Puh-leeze.  Give credit where credit is due.  It’s Mama Kris who was the guiding force in this idiot’s life.  No more, no less.

Look, clearly you have a very narrow understanding of how the world works and that includes the presidency. Trump spent four years courting and empowering authoritarian regimes around the world while simultaneously doing everything he could to damage our own democracy and the strength of allied relationships.

It is  not a flamethrower, it’s a door key!

I mean, that has been the plan for every other media property he has owned, so yes, I imagine that’s the plan here.

That’s a lot of money that’s not going to the people that made it possible for Bezos to have the boat in the first place.

Spare us, dude. Bleeding hearts for the suffering mega-yacht industry?

I can offer one possible explanation:

They used the moniker "socialist" to initially appeal to a socialist worker's union to get their votes. They were never actually socialists, it was an election ploy. Man you don't know shit about history

But we aren’t talking about BLM, we are talking about these fools now. Why must deflection always take place. The looting was not ok then but that was then, now we are talking now.

“Allowed to remain” is the important part you included in that quote and then actively ignored it in order to make your own point.

That’s exactly what these assholes want but the cops are doing nothing. Sure they’ll send in the military to take out First Nations protecting their land and water but they’ll sit on their hands while whitey pisses on the street.
